< २ इतिहास 17 >
1 आसाका छोरा यहोशापात तिनको ठाउँमा राजा भए । यहोशापातले इस्राएलको विरूद्ध आफैलाई मजबुत बनाए ।
And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
2 तिनले यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सबै सहरमा फौज राखे, र यहूदाभरि र तिनका पिता आसाले कब्जा गरेका एफ्राइमका सहरहरूमा रक्षाको निम्ति छाउनीहरू राखे ।
And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
3 परमप्रभु यहोशापातसँग हुनुहुन्थ्यो किनकि तिनी आफ्ना पिता दाऊदले देखाएका उदाहरणअनुसार सुरु-सुरुमा हिंडे, र बालको खोजी गरेनन् ।
And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
4 बरू, तिनले आफ्ना पिताका परमेश्वरमा भरोसा गरे, र तिनका आज्ञाहरूमा चले, इस्राएलका व्यवहारअनुसार होइन ।
On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
5 यसरी परमप्रभुले तिनको हातमा शासन स्थापित गर्नुभयो । सारा यहूदाले यहोशापातलाई कर तिरे । तिनीसित धन-सम्पत्ति र ख्याति प्रशस्त थियो ।
Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
6 तिनको हृदय परमप्रभुका मार्गमा समर्पित थिए । तिनले यहूदाबाट डाँडाका थानहरू र अशेरा देवीका मूर्तिहरू हटाउने काम पनि गरे ।
And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
7 आफ्नो राजकालको तेस्रो वर्षमा तिनले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरू बेन-हेल, ओबदिया, जकरिया, नतनेल र मीकायालाई यहूदाका सहरहरूमा शिक्षा दिनलाई पठाए ।
And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities of Judah.
8 तिनीहरूसँग लेवीहरू शमायाह, नतन्याह, जबदियाह, असाहेल, शमीरामोत, यहोनातान, अदोनियाह, तोबियाह र तोब-अदोनियाह, र तिनीहरूसँग पुजारी एलीशामा र यहोराम थिए ।
And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
9 तिनीहरूले आफूसित परमप्रभुका व्यवस्थाको पुस्तक लिएर यहूदामा सिकाए । तिनीहरू यहूदाका सबै सहरमा गए र मानिसहरूका माझमा सिकाए ।
And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
10 यहूदाको वरिपरि भएका सबै राज्यहरूमा परमप्रभुको भय पर्यो, जसले गर्दा उनीहरूले यहोशापातको विरुद्धमा युद्ध गरेनन् ।
And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with Jehoshaphat.
11 पलिश्तीमध्ये कसैले यहोशापातकहाँ करको रूपमा उपहारहरू र चाँदीको ल्याए । अरबीहरूले तिनका निम्ति पनि सात हजार सात सय भेडा र सात हजार सात सय बोकाहरू ल्याए ।
Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
12 यहोशापात धेरै शक्तिशाली भए । तिनले यहूदामा किल्लाहरू र भण्डार राख्ने सहरहरू बनाए ।
And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
13 यहूदाका सहरहरूमा तिनीसँग प्रशस्त खानेकुरा बलिया, र यरूशलेममा बलिया र शक्तिशाली मानिस सिपाहीहरू थिए ।
And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
14 तिनीहरू आआफ्नो पिताका घरानाअनुसार सूचिकृत गरिएका दलहरू यी नै थिएः यहूदाबाट हजारका फौज पतिहरू, फौज पति अदनाह र तिनका साथमा तीन लाख योद्धाहरू ।
And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
15 तिनीपछि फौज पति येहोहानान र तिनका साथमा दुई लाख असी हजार मानिसहरू।
And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
16 तिनीपछि जिक्रीका छोरा अमसिया, जसले स्वेच्छाले परमप्रभुका सेवाको निम्ति आफूलाई समर्पित गरे । अनि तिनीसँग दुई लाखको योद्धाहरू ।
And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
17 बेन्यामीनबाटः एक जना शक्तिशाली व्यक्ति एल्यादा, र तिनका साथमा धनु र ढालले सुसज्जित भएका दुई लाखको फौज ।
And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
18 तिनीपछि यहोजाबाद, र तिनका साथमा युद्धको निम्ति तयार भएका एक लाख असी हजारको फौज ।
And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
19 यिनीहरू यहूदाका किल्ला भएका सहरहरूमा राजाले राखेकाबाहेकका थिए ।
These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
